Shen Qingyu thought: These are all soldiers whose parents are not around. A group wedding would save a lot of trouble. Everyone can have a banquet and everything will be resolved.
A wedding can be a group affair?!
Qi Yunxiao felt his eyes were opened!
After listening to Shen Qingyu's explanation, I felt... it was feasible.
The twenty-eight couples first performed their respective wedding rites, and then each contributed some money to hold a banquet together, inviting several familiar families to dinner. The ceremony was then complete!
Simplified procedures are one benefit, cost savings are another, and it also eliminates the dilemma for those attending the banquet whether to eat at your place or someone else's.
However, even if each couple only has two tables, there will still be forty or fifty tables of people!
With the Lunar New Year approaching, it's not easy to buy all kinds of vegetables.
However, this didn't stump Shen Qingyu: she had plenty of supplies in her spatial storage!
Even if we don't have any stock, we still have the Space Mall, which offers high-quality products at low prices and plenty of options.
So Shen Qingyu generously decided to sponsor all the rice, flour, meat, oil, wine, melon seeds, peanuts, and candy for this mass wedding.
In this way, newlyweds only need to prepare green vegetables.
Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao pretended to go out for a while, and when they came back, they brought back a cart full of all kinds of food, which they had the Dragon Guards deliver to the back mountain.
When the villagers learned about this, those who knew the person went to give their gifts.
In rural areas, a typical gift is just a bowl of noodles or a few eggs, but it represents the sentiment behind it.
During the group banquet, Qi Yunxiao and his wife, as well as Shen Zhongyi and his wife, were asked about their departure.
The four men, who had reached a consensus, told them that there was more business waiting for them outside, so these workshops would be handed over to the managers.
Coincidentally, there was a guard who was specifically in charge of managing the chili pepper workshop and the soap workshop. Because he was familiar with all the processes and personnel, and he was willing to stay, he was directly promoted from a guard to the manager of the chili pepper workshop and the soap workshop.
The transition of identity was so smooth that it eliminated the need for anyone to readjust.
With their robust health, promising financial future, and ability to support their families, these managers suddenly became highly sought-after.
So, not only did migrants and villagers who wanted to work in the workshops try to get close to the four managers and deputy managers of the chili and soap workshops, but some pretty young girls were also brought by their families to try and get close to them...
They practically had the words "honey trap" etched on their foreheads.
The triplets ran around wildly with the village children, and you couldn't find them until it was time to eat!
After Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao finished their banquet, they went to look for the triplets, but only found Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
Shen Qingyu immediately got angry: "Da Bao, Xiao Bao, where's Er Bao? You three sisters have finally reunited for a while now, you should go in and out together..."
Before Shen Qingyu could finish scolding him, Da Bao spoke up, looking aggrieved: "Mom, it's not that we don't want to play with Er Bao, it's just that Er Bao was dragged away by Grandpa Village Head and the others!"
"What?" Shen Qingyu was stunned.
“Really! Lots of adults! They’re all at Grandpa Village Head’s house, surrounding Second Sister!” Xiao Bao added.
"What are they doing surrounding Erbao?" Shen Qingyu had a bad feeling.
"Fortune telling".
"..." Shen Qingyu turned and left.
When we arrived at the village head's house, we found the yard was full of people.
The main room was also full of people!
Despite the freezing winter, everyone craned their necks to look into the main room. In the silence, only Erbao's childish voice rang out: "Aunt Qiuyue, you won't have a baby boy until next year!"
"Can you give birth next year? As long as you can give birth, that's all that matters! Next year it is!" The man next to Qiuyue was overjoyed.
Shen Qingyu recognized him at a glance: this was Shen Changhe, who had three daughters.
"And what about me? And what about me?" another man's voice rang out.
Erbao glanced at the man, then her sweet, clear voice rang out again: "Uncle Changju, you have kidney problems, so having children might be difficult for you..."
"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
Shen Changju blushed and said, "You're just a six or seven-year-old kid, what do you know about kidneys and waist?! You're talking nonsense!"
After saying that, Shen Changju took off running.
Shen Qingyu blushed and pulled Erbao away, saying, "What do you know, you little thing? Come home with me first!"
How could such a small child have been led astray by the mad Taoist?
To openly say that men have kidney deficiency in front of so many people... If this gets out, she'll be laughed at when she grows up!
Erbao was still unconvinced and argued with Shen Qingyu, "Mom, I'm telling the truth! I really can tell fortunes and read faces... We'll see if it comes true next year..."
Shen Qingyu ran home with lightning speed, while Qi Yunxiao followed closely behind, a smile he couldn't suppress.
Cough cough cough!
Why do I keep wanting to laugh even though I should be angry?!
Once home, Shen Qingyu put Erbao on the ground, refused Dabao and Xiaobao's request to watch, and only kept Qi Yunxiao, who had insisted on staying, before closing the door.
“Mother didn’t mean your calculations were inaccurate,” Shen Qingyu stated first.
Erbao looked bewildered and aggrieved: "Then why did you say that to me?"
Shen Qingyu sighed: "You are still young after all. Although you are destined to learn these things, won't the heavens hold a grudge if you keep talking about other people's fates so recklessly?"
Erbao realized what was happening and quickly explained, "Mom, it's no big deal for me to expose the fate of ordinary people. It's not like I'm trying to defy fate for them."
It's just deducing the past, present, and future from their appearance and cause and effect.
"But what if you accidentally run into someone with a tough life? Someone with a lucky fate? Wouldn't you suffer some losses?"
Erbao fell silent.
Some people's destinies are too precious to be calculated or spoken of casually.
Revealing heavenly secrets is too drastic; there will truly be consequences. Who knows what kind of negative impact it will have on Erbao?!
Seeing that the child was willing to listen to her advice, Shen Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but then reminded her, "You're a young girl. How can you say that a man has kidney problems in front of so many people? How can he save face?"
Erbao froze instantly: "!!! I didn't think of that."
Shen Qingyu naturally knew that she hadn't expected it, but that didn't mean she could continue to act so recklessly in the future.
"So today I want to remind you that even if you see it in the future, you can't say such things in front of everyone. People will feel embarrassed, and if they are petty, they might even hold a grudge against you. That would be an undeserved disaster for you."
Erbao understood what he meant and even drew inferences from it: "Once, my master exposed that someone had a mistress, and that official sent people to beat my master."
Shen Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart jumped again: "What? What happened next?"
"Later, thanks to the protection of my uncles, we were not injured, but those people were knocked unconscious."
Shen Qingyu nodded and solemnly reminded him, "So, you should learn to keep quiet about things you shouldn't say in the future. Some things are better left unsaid; you can keep them to yourself."
